Component Name
1. Install a large C-clamp, over the body of the brake
caliper with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the
caliper body and against the outer brake pad.
CAUTION
!
When using a large C-clamp to compress a
caliper piston into a caliper bore of a caliper
equipped with an integral park brake
mechanism, do not exceed more than 1 mm
(0.039 in) of piston travel. Exceeding this
amount of piston travel will cause damage to
the internal adjusting mechanism and/or the
integral park brake mechanism.
2. Tighten the C-clamp just enough to compress the
caliper piston 1 mm (0.039 in) of travel only.
3. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper.
4. Grasp the brake caliper and attempt to move the
brake caliper vertically. The brake caliper should not
exhibit excessive looseness.
5. Without disconnecting the hydraulic brake flex hose,
remove the caliper from the caliper bracket, and
support the caliper. Refer to "Rear Brake Caliper
Replacement".
6. Inspect the caliper bolts to ensure that they are not
bent or damaged. If the bolts are bent or damaged,
the bolts require replacement.
